We can’t believe it’s been a year already. A year ago on July 7th, mine and Libby’s lives changed and merged forever. We’ve enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to many many years together. We appreciate all of our friends and family and hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday weekend.
In the morning, we are headed to San Antonio for a 2 night stay on the Riverwalk (we’ll be in a hotel, not literally on the Riverwalk). We will not have access to email during this time and will not answer our phones. You are welcome to call us on the 7th as we will be travelling home then (Libby has to work Tuesday).
One funny note…we are leaving very very early (probably 4:30) because we are stopping at Snow’s BBQ in Lexington for the best barbecue in Texas (according to Texas Monthly in June). This is a very unique place. They are only open on Saturdays from 8am until the meat runs out which will be about 9:45am tomorrow (according to someone with the restaurant). Since we want to avoid a long line and get to San Antonio early, we plan to basically have BBQ for breakfast. I know that sounds weird if not gross to some…but you have to understand that you only feel that way because you’ve eaten the same thing for breakfast all of your life so only a very narrow selection of food is “acceptable”. It’s hardwired in. I guarantee you that any hesitation we have about eating BBQ that early will vanish with the first bite. Yes, I had this conversation with Libby already. She knows that I’m weird and is up for the adventure.
We are also looking forward to eating at Mi Tierra Cafe in San Antonio. We’ve had several people rave about this place to us (one of them is Mexican). I am personally looking forward to a beef tongue breakfast taco. Yes, I’ve been watching too much of Bizarre Foods.
Aside from that, we’re going to be adventuresome and just enjoy the city with no itinerary.
Love you all,
Paul
